Melissa + Bernie’s Wedding: 5/30/2010 – My energy is still at an all-time high from Melissa and Bernie‘s wedding. What a great way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend and end the month of May! Melissa is a dear friend of one of my 2009 brides Kristen (by the way congrats to her and Rafael on expecting a little boy in August!). Thanks to Kristin and Rafael, I met Melissa and Bernie late last year.
I was told by Melissa that she and Bernie actually haven’t known each other for that long. And in just a short period of time, they went from being complete strangers, to an item, to engaged, and to finally being Mrs. and Mr. Paramo. Yesterday’s celebration at the beautiful Los Angeles River Center and Gardens venue was planned and coordinated to perfection by my favorite wedding person Trini of NOZZA Studio. And guess who did the amazing floral!? Deanne of Bella Fiore! So The Wedding Clique was totally rocking M + B’s big day.
From the adorable flower girl and ring bear to the awesome wedding party; from the memorable speeches to the non-stop dancing fun (open bar from 4PM until who knows when, yes sir!), Melissa and Bernie put together a wonderful party for all their family and friends. And I felt so privileged to be the documenting it all. I wish you guys the very best; and Bernie, don’t watch too much World Cup Soccer this Summer ;).
